You're Top Poster: #4   | As far as I am aware during the battle for the Pacific the Americans were losing their large aircraft carriers to Kamikaze as they had designed them with wooden decks. Whereas the RN had designed theirs with metal decks, meaning they just swept the wreckage over the side and carried on. As to other ships, I am sure the smaller Destroyers and merchantmen must have been lost, but am afraid its not my area. Need to talk to Hugh.

You're Top Poster: #1  | Though many ships were hit, the only direct loss, that I know of, was on 26th July 1945 when minesweeper "VESTAL" was hit and had to be scuttled.
